The uprated arbs can help with lows but not by much I suppose it depends on how low u want to go. The shorter drop links arnt too great either iv had one snap on me in the past but that might just be bad luck. If you want decent lows with no rubbing then I would recomend you buy the above arbs I just mentioned.

Very true, it just depends on if you have bought an over the top loop rather than underneeth, wish I had bought a underneeth but happy with the results I have now with over the top. Lol.  :smiley:

Yea sure this is the adjustable vs the sortend one


And this is the gap between the drive shaft and fk arb on full lock. You can see where it has been rubbing previously but no longer rubbs.
